The 'ld' instruction requires a 4-byte aligned displacement because it is a DS-form instruction. But the "m" asm constraint doesn't enforce that. Add a special case of __get_user_asm2_goto() so that the "YZ" constraint can be used for "ld". The "Z" constraint is documented in the GCC manual PowerPC machine constraints, and specifies a "memory operand accessed with indexed or indirect addressing". "Y" is not documented in the manual but specifies a "memory operand for a DS-form instruction". Using both allows the compiler to generate a DS-form "ld" or X-form "ldx" as appropriate. The change has to be conditional on CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PREFIXED because the "Y" constraint does not guarantee 4-byte alignment when prefixed instructions are enabled. No build errors have been reported due to this, but the possibility is there depending on compiler code generation decisions.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
